"Thomas Frank's side had approached the Reds last week over a potential move for the 31-year-old, who signed for Liverpool in 2017 when he joined in a 8 million move from Hull City. The initial enquiry came with Frank facing a number of injury issues in defence and with Robertson in the final six months of his deal at Anfield. Liverpool were ready to listen to the approach, but have now made their decision."
"Tottenham raised the idea of signing the Scotland skipper after losing Ben Davies to a fractured ankle, believing that Robertson had the ability, experience and leadership qualities to replace Davis at left-back. With Spurs toiling at 14th place in the Premier League, Frank raised the issue of these leadership qualities among signing Conor Gallagher earlier this month, as the former Brentford boss looks to give his young side direction and experience."
Andy Robertson has made 22 appearances for Liverpool this season. He joined Liverpool in 2017 for an £8 million fee from Hull City. Tottenham approached Liverpool about a potential move after Ben Davies suffered a fractured ankle, seeking Robertson's ability, experience and leadership at left-back. Robertson is in the final six months of his Liverpool contract. Liverpool signed Milos Kerkez in the summer as competition and a potential successor. Liverpool acknowledged Robertson's eight-and-a-half years of service, during which he helped the club win two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and the 2018/19 Champions League. Liverpool have ended negotiations with Tottenham.
